I just returned to the hotel from the first day of the round table. I have been to many, spoken at a few and helped plan several. If there were an olympic event for PW Round Tables..... This would be one to beat. Below is my take on it and personal opinions, In no way am I contrasting and comparing the event to the other RT's, I have never been to a bad event.
The setting: Professional atmosphere, comfortable room, great lunch.
The Speakers: Five Star. See below
UAMCC: This organization is off to a great start. The organizational framework that they discussed and presented was well done. Carlos has a clear vision of what the UAMCC needs to be and what it need to do for contractors. One thing that was evident to me is that he has masterfully put together a team that will (and is) make it happen. I am excited about this organization in the upcoming future.... I suspect great things are about to happen!
Jeff LaCours: For someone to stand in front of 2 dozen NC/SC contractors and tell them (and all of the others in attendence) how to access a market that will compete with him is a testament to his character. I left the event today with a wealth of information from Jeff that justifies in itsself, the cost of the trip, airfair and such. This information is worth a lot of money..... To leave just one lecture with enough information to access HOA and a whole new market for my business and 2009 business plan is priceless... What is it worth to you? And as a plus, he is a great public speaker.
Robert Hinderliter: I have heard Robert speak before. As Jeff is the Condo King, Robert is the Clean Water Act / BMP king. Very informative and detailed presentation. Thanks Robert.
Ron Musgraves: Kick A$$ presentation.... Powerpoint presentation slides were awsum. The work he put into this event was obvious. The planning, atmosphere and setuo was comparable to Nursing Conferences that I have attended that cost me $500-$800 dollars. While many of us were in the bar "networking" last night, Ron was in the classroom with one of his employees creating a professional atmosphere that was condusive to learning. The information that Ron shared was also invaluable. In Ron's presentation, he gave information on how to make money in the commercial service area, there was no hidden agenda, no catch line.... For someone to put this much information out to the industry and fellow contractors is unheard of.... Cleary deserving of a heartfelt kudos and thank you!
Tomorrow will be another cool day with the demonstrations. There are many many many pressure washing toys here that would make any contractor envious (including me). John T has his swabby here, Sunbrite has a riding surface cleaner, and there are some pretty cool rigs in the parking lot...

Look for one of these event in an area near you!
